It comes as Daryl is currently celebrating the 30th anniversary of his hit 1991 single The Horses.
In an interview with Today back in July, Daryl said he doesn’t get tired of performing his best known hit, The Horses.
‘That really hasn’t gone to sleep at all. It’s maintained and maybe gotten bigger,’ he said of the 1990 single.

But he admitted he now shortens his performance of the four-minute song after fellow musician James Reyne branded it ‘shameless’.
Back in February last year, Daryl delighted fans when he performed The Horses at Fire Fight 2020.
The singer was inducted into the ARIA Awards Hall Of Fame in 2017.
